Inductive reasoning: uses a collection

of specific instances as premises and uses


them to propose a general conclusion.

Deductive reasoning: uses a collection


of general statements as premises and uses
them to propose a specific conclusion.
A)Problem Solving -is a process (an ongoing activity) in
which we take what we know to discover what we don't
know
B)Mathematical Reasoning -it refers to the ability of a
person to analyze problem situations and construct logical
arguments to justify the process or hypothesis, to create a
both conceptual foundations and connections, in order for
a person to be able to process the information.
C) Inductive Reasoning - Inductive reasoning in
mathematics is a method of reasoning or making
generalizations based on a set of specific observations or
examples.
D) Deductive Reasoning -Deductive reasoning in
mathematics is a logical process that involves drawing

POLYA'S PROBLEM-SOLVING
STRATEGY
A) Understanding the Problem -The first step is to thoroughly understand the problem
at hand. This involves reading the problem carefully, identifying the given information,
and determining what needs to be solved or found. Ask yourself questions about the
problem, such as: What is the problem asking for? What are the constraints or
conditions? What do I know, and what do I need to find out? Clarify the problem by
rephrasing it in your own words or creating a diagram or visualization if it helps.
B) Devise a Plan -Once you have a clear understanding of the problem, the next step is
to come up with a plan or strategy to solve it. Consider various approaches, methods,
or techniques that might be applicable. Break the problem down into smaller, more
manageable parts if necessary. Think about similar problems you've encountered in the
past and the strategies that were successful. Choose a method or approach that you
believe will lead you to a solution.
C) Carry out the Plan -With a well-thought-out plan in place, proceed to solve the
problem step by step. Follow your chosen approach systematically. Perform
calculations, make logical deductions, and use any relevant tools or resources as
needed. Keep track of your progress and make sure you're following the plan you
1.If 3X + 9 =24, then 11X + 10 =
2. If 5X + 7 =10, then 15X + 20=
3.If 4X + 8 =30, then 11X + 30 =
4.If 6X + 2 =20, then 11X + 40 =
5.If 3X + 1 =40, then 11X + 50 =
